Developing an innovative computerised assessment of complex activities of daily living
This study develops and validates a computerised assessment (called the ‘C-STAM’) to look at the ability of older adults to complete daily tasks such as dressing, shopping, medication management and paying a bill. Once validated, the C-STAM will be freely available to clinicians to facilitate the early diagnosis of dementia.
